ISO/PC 294 - Guidance on unit pricing
Standardization in the field of Guidance on unit pricing. The unit pricing standard would provide principles and guidance in designing, developing, implementing, maintaining and improving a flexible, responsive and effective and measurable regime for small to large retailers by: Establishing best practice for informing consumers of the unit price of goods including what unit prices are and how they can be used. Defining a unit pricing scheme and types of labels and promotions to which it may apply.
